The Faithfull Countryman Draw Hoe has a 150mm wide blade set at a right angle to the handle, designed to be pulled through the soil. As the name suggests it is mainly used to draw things towards the user and is used to dislodge weeds, dig or to mound soil. The draw hoe is useful for earthing soil up around potatoes or making shallow trenches (drawing a trench) creating a drill to plant seeds, once the seeds are sown the soil can be drawn back to cover the seeds.

These are then lacquered for protection against the weather and fitted with a foam handle end grip to make them more comfortable in prolonged use.
The Countryman Range has been designed for the gardener who requires a tool they can rely on to provide years of dependable service.
